July 3, 2025 (Fashion for Good (via LinkedIn)) –
Fashion for Good, a global initiative promoting sustainability in the fashion industry, posted 10 LinkedIn updates from June 26 to July 3, 2025. The company's posts highlighted significant advancements in sustainable textile production, recycling technologies, and industry partnerships. Let's explore the key developments shared during this period.
Sustainable Material Innovations
Nature Coatings, one of Fashion for Good's innovators, achieved a significant milestone with their BioBlack TX pigment receiving GOTS certification. This certification meets the highest global standard for organic and sustainable textiles, making it easier for brands and mills to integrate these black pigments into certified supply chains. Nature Coatings transforms wood waste into high-performing, cost-competitive black pigments that serve as a direct replacement for petroleum-based carbon black pigments. These pigments are free from toxic substances like PAHs and are manufactured in a closed-loop system with minimal CO2 emissions.
In another breakthrough, HeiQ AeoniQ™ announced a major scaling initiative. The Portuguese cellulosic pulp leader, Altri Group, has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in AeoniQ™. This partnership will enable the world's first industrial production of climate-positive textile yarn. The investment will allow for the construction of a commercial-scale AeoniQ™ production facility in Portugal, with construction set to begin in 2026. This development marks a significant step towards creating a fully integrated, European-made, plastic-free alternative to synthetic fibers.

Advancements in Textile Recycling
Syre, another Fashion for Good innovator, has been granted an investment registration certificate by Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam. This paves the way for their first gigascale textile-to-textile recycling plant, marking a significant milestone in Syre's mission to close the loop on textiles at scale and accelerate the global shift toward circularity.
Circ®, a textile recycling innovator, announced a strategic partnership with Selenis Specialty Polyester Solutions to scale textile-to-textile polyester production in Europe. This agreement expands both recycled polyester and lyocell production at industrial volumes, improving access to high-performance circular materials derived from end-of-life textiles for global brands and mills.
Colorifix, a sustainable textile dyeing technology company, successfully reached the first close of a Series B2 round of $18 million, led by the Inter IKEA Group. This investment will support Colorifix's transition from pilot production to full-scale commercial manufacturing of its sustainable textile dyeing technology across global markets, expanding production capacity in Europe and Asia, and further developing its color range.

Sustainable Denim Production
Fashion for Good highlighted the challenges and innovations in creating sustainable denim. The organization emphasized that sustainable denim production requires not only better and less resource-intensive production methods but also a shift in how jeans are designed, used, cared for, and disposed of. They showcased two innovators addressing key challenges in denim recycling:
1. Resortecs: Developing dissolvable threads for easy disassembly and exploring construction methods that simplify recycling and reduce waste.
2. Purfi: Creating fiber rejuvenation technologies that restore worn-out cotton to near-virgin quality, potentially enabling closed-loop recycling at competitive prices.
